Thu, 09 May 2019 12:44:47 +0000http://wristprc.wordpress.com/?page_id=207#comment-6481I’m not sure if this has already been asked, but I’m have a PRC in June on my non dominant hand and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how long they took off work?
I work an office job so they most straining thing I do is typing and filing paper work.
Any ideas on how long I will need off?

Funny recovery because nothing is broken or damaged your just trying to make a new joint work for you. That is after you recover from the damage and trauma of the surgery obviously. Your husband is a driver. That’s funny after the wife’s passing I’ve stopped farming and been working toward getting my CDL and start driving. Let me know if he needs some help, maybe a ride along intern.

Take care
Sam

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 01:52:51 +0000http://wristprc.wordpress.com/?page_id=1#comment-6072Kim, that was normal for my PRC. I could shake my arm and the wrist would rattle at two months. Things are lose and trying to find there new place. have to give it time. As for doing to much I’m not sure. One side says take it easy and let everything tighten up. The other side says keep it limber from the start to keep your range of motion. Be interested to see what others think. I was a farmer at the time. So as soon as the cast was off I had to get back to work. Kind of did my own PT and I am very happy with my PRC.

Good luck.

Is that the shot behind the shoulder that the whole re is dead for two days? I have nothing to compare it to, but all came out ok.

Thu, 21 Mar 2019 02:51:17 +0000http://wristprc.wordpress.com/?page_id=1#comment-5967I just had my 2nd PRC 2 days ago. This was the left wrist. Had right wrist done 2017. Done by 2 different physicians. First one, did not use nerve block or complete immobilization . Had 2 different casts,waited 2 weeks to remove dressing, then casted for 2 weeks and again another 2 weeks ,with different hand position. Therapy 6 weeks. All good. 2nd one had nerve block and I think this created more pain. Splinter for 2 weeks right surgery then will have 2 weeks of cast. Lot more swelling this time around. Hope this one goes as well as the first one.

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 06:11:50 +0000http://wristprc.wordpress.com/?page_id=207#comment-5906Patricia and Ann, i live alone, with my 4 dogs. and had my PRC done. i tried to plan ahead, paperplates, plastic utensils. so as not to do dishes. i actually went out and bought a freezer and filled it with great food from Costco that i could microwave or put in my large toaster oven. i bought huge sweatshirts and shirts with big wide arms to allow me clothing to wear. sweatpants. because pulling up anything but loose sweatpants was impossible. i bought one of those can openers that you put it on the can push the button and it rotates around the can. i got a bagel slicer. these things helped a lot. but still so many things are so hard or impossible like opening a jar, poptop cans. and be very careful if you have your microwave above counter. that is dangerous. may be good to invest in a cheap countertop one. i still can’t after 3 mos. lift much more than cell phone, can’t turn door handles with that wrist. driving kills me. i have to wear the brace for that and even with it, by the time i arrive home from a few errands, i need a pain killer. showers. well thats a joke. i wrapped small trash can liners around mine with large elastics to keep closed. i even went so far as to cut my hair shorter because you can’t use any styling equipment, if i can help with anything, pls ask. i didn’t think i would make it thru, but i did.
